fossil are in a comparatively very good conservation state. Most parts of the piece are clear, and the beetle body is well visible using light microscopy (Figs 1, 3-5). The mouth part is partly covered by milky coating and thus mandibles and maxillae cannot be investigated by light microscopy. The body is partly covered by minute particles (granules or tiny bubbles) of unknown origin. The exoskeleton of the specimen is partly slightly shrunken and thus dissociated from the inclusion wall (Figs 6-8). Four apical tarsomeres of the left proleg are lost. The aedeagus is well preserved and could be reconstructed together with its endophallic folding structures using micro-CT (Figs 12-17, 26).

Due to the peculiar combination of the character states observed in
